Why can't exotic primaries have a burn?
Does anyone else think primary exotics should have a burn? You could have a primary exotic with all 3 burns.

Edited by Jcochran66: 3/16/2015 4:15:51 PMA way this could work would be the item mod slot where the exotic modifier is could be a choice between the exotic buff or a specified element. Like for example for Monte Carlo you could choose to have the Melee regen or switch to an elemental damage.

I think it would be nice. They are exotics after all. It stinks that just about all the exotic primaries are out shined by legendaries because of this.

Gives you a reason to raid

Exotics like NLB and maybe Universal Remote could have burns, but the rest would be overpowered. Think about it... Suros or Red Death with a burn AND health regen. You would practically never use any other exotic. Hell, I wouldn't even use my Gjallerhorn as much as I do. Plus, as somebody previous said, it would take the raid weapons' uniqueness away.

VEX and Necro have burn. They can only be obtained be raiding bit they are Exotics
-
I wouldn't complain if we got some exotic primaries with burn, but it would kind of kill the uniqueness of the Raid weapons, wouldn't it? I mean take away their burns and all you have is a unique-looking gun with some situational usefulness in their respective Raids. And a primary exotic with all three burns? I can't see how that wouldn't be overpowered... but hey, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

4 RepliesI personally like that only raid primary weapons have a burn. It makes them unique, and in some cases preferable, to exotic primaries.

9 RepliesHard Light should be Arc. Thorn and Juju should be 'Poison' Those are the logical ones for me. I mean come on, Hard Light actually fires BLUE rounds!
-
If they had a burn they wouldn't be as powerful overall... For example an arc exotic primary would be garbage against wizards. By leaving most of them as kinetic damage they are powerful in all situations. Just my opinion on why they did it

I'd love MIDA to have a burn then I'd run it all the time but unfortunately most of the time it pays to use an exotic in another slot and use a raid primary which is a shame

Some should and some shouldn't

I got bad juju in the beta, and it did void damage with about 400 damage

If exotics had burns then there would be almost no point in raiding for their weapons.

Because for a lot of people the burn on Raid primaries are the only reason they play the game, ever, to hear some of them talk. "I play for the *fun* and challenge, but if the gear I get isn't super awesomely better than everyone else's than there's no reason to log into the game, like, ever" Personally I think some of the exotic primaries should totally have a burn, just maybe not all.
-
The problem is that'd make a lot of legendary primaries much worse for PvE, and in turn, make choosing a special/heavy exotic less desirable, unless you have maxed raid weapons. Since exotic primaries are already so popular in PvP, it would basically make them the most used exotics in the entire game. While it would be cool if certain guns had certain burns, like bad juju and thorn had void, hard light had arc, etc. It just won't happen anytime soon; elemental primaries are meant for the raids only.

1 ReplyMost people I know with access to ALL weapons use Raid Primaries and save the Exotic slot for Secondary/Heavy. Giving Exotic Primaries burn would definitely make me reconsider my normal weapon stacks. I know Vex and Necro, I don't use either to do anything serious in the game, but give Red Death or MIDA some burn and I think I might.
